At the end of this course you need to submit TWOprojects from a choice of the following; Portraits, Macro, Monochrome or a sense of place.For each of these topics you MUST submit an absolute minimum of 6 high quality images (that are NOT of the same subject matter), there is no maximum number of photographs that you can submit.For each topic you MUST open a word document and:- Include a written explanation of what (Portrait/Macro/Monochrome/Sense of place) photography is, the ideal equipment to use and what you think makes a superb (Portrait/Macro/Monochrome/Sense of place) photograph.- Choose a particluar theme that you would like to concentrate on within the particular topic. e.g For portrait photography you may wish to have a theme of fashion, love, male, female, outdoors e.t.c. You should brainstorm all your ideas before choosing one.- Include photographs from various photographers who photograph themes similar to yours. The wider the range of images you include the better. Aim to have atleast 20 images. Do'nt forget to include the photographers name, photograph title and when it was taken (if you can find out).- Select 5 fairly different photographs (old, recent, famous) relating to your theme and analyse them in detail (see the analysing photographs section of this website). Include many relevant key words (see the key words section of this website).- Plan your first images and say how, why and where you are going to take them.- Put the photographs you have taken into a folder called set 1. Briefly state what went well/ didn't go to plan.- Plan your next images and say how you aim to change/develop your ideas as a result of the first images you took.- Repeat this process until you have an absolute minimum of 6 high quality images (that are NOT of the same subject matter).- Use Gimp to enhance your final photos – stating how and why you made changes to them. To get a decent mark you must now experiment with different digital editing techniques e.g. colour popping, B&w conversions, cropping, filters, textures, colour adjustments, toning, vignetting e.t.c so make this obvious via occasional screen prints. - Compare your work to the photographs you analysed earlier e.g This photograph is similar to the work of ........... because ............... I particularly like............... If you are aiming for a good mark you may also wish to briefly analyse your own photographs.- Write a very short conclusion to say what you enjoyed/ have learnt about photography during this topic.For one or both of these topics you MUST:Perform a detailed study of a particular photographer which includes information about their life, style of photography e.t.c. choose one or more of their photographs and try to recreate it in your own way (remember to write about how you do this). You will score higher marks if you choose an photographer from a long time ago. For a list of famous photographers see the key words section of this website.Now COMPARE your photographs to the photographer you have chosen stating how they are similar/ different and why. Do this in as much detail as possible.FINALLYYou will be asked to print both projects in colour and create a powerpoint presentation that includes all your final images. Guidance will be given about the best way to do this. You may also wish to display your photographs in a different way, e.g. mounted prints, this is also acceptable.
